Consequences..

Anything I read of Harry Wongs, I seem to agree with. It just always sounds so right because he always have wise things to say. After reading chapter 18, I agreed with Harry Wong with setting up an effective discipline system. That sounds like a smart idea for an first year teacher or an teacher who is having problems with discipline.
  Having children choose their own consequences might seem like it would work, it'll make them feel like they are taken that responsibility, and doing the right thing. But when it comes to younger grade levels you can't expect them to chose a consequence. Most of the time they don't even know what's going on. They'll be like "what? Consequence?". As I stated before there's a chance with letting the child choose there consequence will work. But you can't depend on it, and that's when Harry Wongs idea of creating a effective discipline systems comes in handy.
  "the number one problem in the classroom is not discipline:it is lack of procedures and routines"
I agree one hundred percent with that. In the kindergarten class i intern in, we have procedures and  routines to do before we can get our day started. So if the class was to have a sub, and of course the sub does not know the procedure nor routine, how do you think the day for the class is going to go? they're not going to know how to act because they didnt do their daily routine or they didnt have their morning talks. Therfore they're going to have a bad day.
